Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lee Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trey Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perry kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Run For Cover. Marshall has chosen Warrior's Pride as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Hong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Svetnela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
